The thing that
was nice about the Zip drives was that they
represented 100MB of inexpensive storage when most of the
alternatives were pretty pricey.
But then people said that about those floppy-connected QIC tape drives (hmm,
those were IOmega too, weren't they?) and lots of people seemed to find that
they had dreadful reliability too. Seemed nice at the time, but not so good a
few months down the line...
I must have been the only person on earth who had no dud cartridges or
click of death, and I used ZIP drives a lot for sneakernetting.
